C#m A
keep the wall against my back
& the love is real as the day is long
[Pattern1]^ї
E
and the night is black
as black as night
[pattern 1, at E/nut]
E
I got a two dollar stare
Midas in my touch and Deliliah in my hair
[pattern 1 at A (5th fret)]
A
I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes
[pattern1, at E(nut)]
E
With this red hot fever and these chromium blues
[pattern2]
C#m A
and I will feel another lover's wheel
drive for miles and not look back
& the love is real as the day is long
[pattern1]
E
and the night is black
as black as night

chrome plated heart. . .
[repeat last riff to fade]
* don't play the G string yet, but keep your hand in an Emajor shape
throughout the riff. Also its best to use your 2nd,3rd & 4th fingers for
the E, coz you'll need your index finger for a barre in a minute.
$- is pop/slap bass- pick this by hooking the string away from the
scratchplate with your thumb(nail).
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
. is cut the note short
